Thanks, Steven. Good to know that this is available. I?ve got a couple that are similar to that which were kinda hard to come by. Hopefully I won?t screw those up! :lol
 
I haven't had much opportunity to make progress on my Ishi Tib, but below are some photos of where I'm at on the head sculpt casting and painting. Just need to add more yellow to the base green color (but it's not as dramatically off as the photos would suggest when I look at it in hand). The comparison pic is the same one I posted before, but with the modified and finished casting added to compare with the pre-modified sculpt. The other shots are just different angles without trying to match any reference image.

First chance I get, I'll start making the outfit.
 
The nose might still be a tad too large, but that's looking spectacular ajp. Your sculpting skills are really incredible.
 
Holy crap that's freaking amazing!! Excellent job, can't wait to see more!
 
Thanks a lot guys. :duff I'm looking into what it would take to do two different outfits for the Ishi Tib (one for Jabba's palace, and one for the Rebel briefing room). But it's gonna take a while to round up materials and design the cut-and-sew patterns.
 
That's a great color match! Did you soak the body in a dye to do it?
 
Awesome! Is there any bleeding with using the oil pastels or did you seal it? I've never used pastels, curious how it works!
 
No bleeding..... but let me make sure I don't take all the credit, I saw this idea from another board member. But here's what I did 1st wash ALL the powder off the Tbleague/ Phicen body. Apply the OIL pastels directly on the skin. wash the figure again and apply a second coat. after that add powder back to the body no bleeding at all. If you have bleeding you need to wash it again.
